  • Manic Monday

    This has been a crazy three days.

    I should mention that I was a wee bit psycho to walk home from my interview on Friday afternoon. Normally I would think nothing of the trek, but it was raining and I was wearing three-inch heeled knee boots. I was rather wet and foot-sore by the time I got back to my apartment, and, while I got over the chill, my poor footsies were rather battered and bruised. It was to the point where I had to soak them in the tub at 3am Saturday morning just to get some relief from the throbbing pain... and that is how I know that Adorkable emailed me at that time wtf

    That's right, the vanishing male got in touch with me claiming to have been out of province and busy studying for his midterm exams.  While it is a well known fact that I'm not entirely logical in my way of thinking, I would think it might be de rigueur to have mentioned that little tidbit. I mean, I told him I was going out of town for the long weekend, so it would have been nice had he mentioned flying to the other side of the country for a week. 

    Needless to say, after being up so late, I slept in until just after noon. @Karoline1982 came over for our movie fest, except we ended up talking for the most part and only watched one movie. I told Karo she could come on xanga so she could actually comment on everyone's posts as she couldn't do so on her phone. I ended up making chocolate cupcakes all by myself while she did so... okay, she cracked the eggs for me since I always make a huge mess when I try silly

    One of the things we talked about was my needing a job and a place to live so I could stay in the GTA. We printed off a bunch of resumes and headed to her place with the plan that I would hand them out the next afternoon. Right when I was packing her own male-with-issues finally text her to ask what she was up to, so we invited him to watch movies with us at Karo's place, too. 

    He really is an all-around rather nice guy, so I can see why Karo likes him so much! It turns out he and I have similar taste in movies and outvoted Karo on a few of her suggestions *L0L* We had such fun that it was the wee hours in the morning before we realized the time and he ended up crashing, too. Next time that happens I'm just going to tell him he can share Caro's bed so I can have both foam mattresses for the floor, because just the one sooo wasn't cutting it whatevah

    She took him home the next day while I stayed at her place and worked on a bit of editing after raiding her cd collection for some tunes. I wasn't feeling the greatest after a night on the floor and my allergies were acting up a bit. I'm undecided whether it was dust embedded into the carpet or the scent of her laundry detergent. Karo and I ended up watching another movie, Courageous, rather than doing the resume-blitz. (BTW, Courageous is a fantastic movie, yet sad, and also hints at the purity promise ceremony I blogged about here.)

    Today I once again slept in -I'm really going to need to fix that pronto- and started working on my editing. I am about two weeks behind because I've been incredibly lazy lately, procrastinating when I shouldn't be. When my phone rang I nearly ignored it, thinking it was just political people calling again to tell me about some election or another. After about three or four rings, I answered it just in case it was something else. 

    It was the toy store I interviewed at, asking me in for another interview with the other co-owner who hadn't been there last time. They interviewed me this past Friday, saying they had other interviews early the following (aka this) week... but call me on the first day of the week? I wonder how many interviews they had this morning and how they turned out... It makes me wonder if I was so great they just wanted final approval by this second owner, or they wanted me back just to ensure they were right in picking someone they interviewed today confused

    Then, just moments ago, I got a text. Do you recall the belated birthday bash I had back in December? Well, I hadn't heard from my one friend since then and I wondered if it was because he realized I disliked his new girlfriend. Well, I suppose she isn't new since he'd been dating her about a year, but I had never met her before and thus she was "new" to me. Anyways, he text to say he was in town and invited me to dinner. I said I couldn't tonight as I am attempting to catch up on my editing, but asked for a raincheck and so we're going to hang out on Wednesday. I'm hoping that he doesn't ask me what he thought about his girlfriend or if I'm still upset about what she did, because that would be tres awkward. I'm not about to let the situation ruin my friendship with him however, and I'd hate to loose it after a dozen years. 

    If my week begins like all that, it makes me wonder just how the rest of this week will turn out! *L0L*
